The higher degree of specificity in the ICD-10 code set is going to require more documentation and more coding precision, so target your ICD-10 training efforts efficiently.
Coders will need to have a strong command of human anatomy and physiology to code accurately in the new coding system. Where the knowledge of anatomy will really count is in the thousands of ICD-10-CM and -PCS codes that don’t have a one-to-one match with the ICD-9-CM codes. You’ll be able to use your new understanding of anatomy to assign the correct ICD-10-CM codes.
